    Speaking of freckles:

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]
    These evenly distributed freckles are on the dial of this doctor's watch, a Heuer Carrera ref 3647 P with pulsation scale and without any lume.

    [​IMG]
    This is another Valjoux cal. 92 Heuer Carrera, a ref. 3647 S, retailed by Casa Masson, which developed a lovely golden tone under South America's sun.

    Cheers,

    Mick
